Police Report Help.
I'm deathly afraid of what to do. I was strangled in public last Sunday while on the clock while at work. We know each other. The camera caught the guy pulling me into an aisle, and he has signed off on a statement saying he confirms these actions that he did. I originally on that day said I did not want the police involved so they were not contacted. I had no visible marks on my skin either. He sliced his hand on my box cutter that I held up in defense.
There's more details but I will keep it short for now as that is the gist.
If there's footage and a statement he signed off on, will there be a trial? Since then in a bout of stupidity (I know) I posted his name and picture online and said what he had done. Both his name and picture are publicly accessible. Can I still be in trouble for this?
My main questions are:
Am I in shit for posting his public information? Will this be an entirely separate case?
Will this go to court if I file a police report?
Will he be up for questioning or will they just take him in?
This is my first time with anything so I'm scared out of my wits and it's why I originally denied police involvement. I keep feeling it in my gut that I made the wrong decision so please help me out. It would mean the world. I'm so lost. I feel like I can't live without reporting it but because of my stupid decisions I feel like I shouldn't even do it. I'm so upset and mad at myself.
